This Avid Technologies Pro Tools Music Production Software with RME Babyface Pro Audio Interface Kit from B&H includes a perpetual license for the latest version of Pro Tools, a twelve-month upgrade plan (renewable), an iLok, and an RME Babyface Pro USB bus-powered audio interface.

This kit provides musicians, engineers, and mixers with a portable solution that delivers four channels of pristine 24-bit/48 kHz AD/DA conversion, advanced multitrack audio editing with up to 128 tracks and access to the Cloud, a complete set of monitoring options with Control Room functions, ideal for recording in the studio, live on stage, at post facilities, or simply when creating on the go.

Pro Tools from Avid takes the already mature and fully featured audio creation software into the realm of the "cloud" with all of its promises. This perpetual license comes with a twelve month upgrade plan (renewable) that ensures access to the latest enhancements, along with future software updates and upgrades (as long as the plan is active).

Here is a quick overview of some noteworthy features of the program. Since the software is based on a 64-bit architecture, the program is able to access as much RAM as is present on the computer, which in turn allows virtual instruments that contain large sample libraries to be fully loaded for instant playback. Additionally, the number of instruments that can be simultaneously available in a session has also increased. Another major feature is an offline bounce function. Preparing intermediary or final mixes is much faster using a simple command. Sound quality is maintained due to time-stamped automation, and multiple files with different file formats can be created simultaneously.

Record input monitoring features ultra-low latency even when routing through plug-ins. Those working with audio for picture will appreciate the ability to play Avid DNxHD files and other HD formats directly within the timeline without transcoding. A wide variety of plug-ins are included with the software, as are six virtual instruments. The software not only works with the company's interfaces, but since version 9, with any Core Audio or ASIO compliant interface.

Some of the upcoming enhancements include collaboration in the cloud with other artists and producers, anywhere in the world. A Marketplace where artists can share, license, or sell music and audio projects, and buy virtual instruments, plug-ins, and more. Access to prior work from anywhere using an audio archival service that stores content and tracks it regardless of whether a session is stored locally, or in the cloud. Archive a stereo mix, the full session, individual stems, or even flatten all tracks so that the original plug-ins used to create them aren't required.

The introduction of a universal metadata schema into the software will help manage, track, and document every asset and project created. This metadata will enable media creators and distributors to keep track of everyone who creatively contributed to specific content, making it easy to document who did what, manage and control versioning, and provide accurate credit information. Some of these enhancements are implemented, while others and future ones like it will be delivered via the upgrade plan.

Note: Users who wish to extended the upgrade component for another twelve months after the initial twelve-month period has expired, need to purchase the Pro Tools Annual Upgrade Plan.

RME Babyface Pro 24-Channel 192 kHz USB Bus-Powered Audio Interface

The RME Babyface Pro 24-Channel 192 kHz USB Bus-Powered Audio Interface is designed for a wide variety of studio and live recording applications. Expertly crafted from a block of aluminum, this portable interface features a new XLR socket that integrates seamlessly into the housing. Parallel 6.3mm TRS and 3.5mm mini headphone jacks feature separate driver stages to match low and high impedance headphones.

The interface ships with the company's TotalMix FX, a software mixer available for Windows, Mac OS X and iOS on an iPad. When using the device with an iPad, an external power adapter must be used, as the iPad alone is unable to power the interface. The mixer software allows you to use the interface in a wide variety of situations, from simple mixing of signals to more complicated routing configurations.

The unit's FPGA-based DSP mixer adds a flexible 3-band parametric equalizer on all inputs and outputs. Combined with the unit's low latency AD/DA converters and the company's unique SteadyClock technology to reduce jitter, the interface offers a professional recording solution in a compact form factor.
